# Grantors, Sponsors and Donors

The Stable Order is also open to and grateful for other forms of financial support besides benefaction. We distinguish 3 forms:

* Grants - a grant provides funds for a specific project of The Stable Order and is part of a established and possibly competitive grant program. Apart from the execution of the project, which may be beneficial in itself to the grantor, the grantor does not receive anything in exchange for the grant.
* Sponsorships - a sponsorship provides funds for an event (co-)organized by The Stable Order. In exchange for the sponsorship, the sponsor receives marketing exposure in the event.
* Donations - a donation provides funds for activities of The Stable Order. In contrast to a grant, they are not part of a established grant program. Apart from the execution of the activities funded by the donation, which may be beneficial to the donor, the donor does not receive anything in exchange for the donation.

In contrast to benefactions, which are accounted for through [CATs](/about-us/the-stable-order/cats.md) , none of the forms of financial support above entitle the respective supporters to receive CATs. Furthermore, donors, sponsors and donors, in contrast to benefactors, do not become members of The Stable Order. 

To support us as a grantor, sponsor or donor, please get in touch with us.
